Kahaluu Bay is seen in May. As the COVID-19 pandemic took hold in the first half of 2020, the lack of human activity around the world resulted in a 9% drop in the greenhouse gas emissions at the root of climate change. Unfortunately, any silver lining from the pandemic remains murky in the oceans. (Chelsea Jensen/West Hawaii Today)
Murky ocean impacts from COVID-19 emissions reductions
December 21, 2020

As the COVID-19 pandemic took hold in the first half of 2020, the lack of human activity around the world resulted in a 9% drop in the greenhouse gas emissions at the root of climate change. Almost overnight, the Himalayas became visible from a distance for the first time in years.

The environmental cost of our Plastic addiction
February 7, 2020

As the world begins to move away from fossil fuels as a source of energy, Big Oil companies are investing heavily in hundreds of new petrochemical plants to ramp up plastic production. And growing plastic production will greatly increase greenhouse gas emissions.
